2.35 meters here. I wouldn't want to sail in
Florida or the Bahamas with my present
boat, and the draft does restrict sometimes where you can go, but you get used to it. Around the UK and Northern
France, the restrictions mainly relate to creek crawling or really small harbors.
I wouldn't
trade my
boat for the
shoal keel version and give up even 3 degrees of pointing ability, just to somewhat reduce those restrictions -- another way to answer your question.
